i got 22+ inches.
we were declared a disaster area.
what you have isn't a lot.
although texas probably doesn't have a lot of snow plows and salt to go around.
they're still trying to clear roads from wednesday. and a good amount of streets are 1.5 lanes.

Don't think we salt down here. Just sand... not sure how much that helps with traction to be honest, I just tried staying home.

Default Snow in Houston

Down here in Houston seems like the whole city closed down schools etc.I took off Friday just for grins planned it about Tues. 1-4 inchs here they said ha
Seems like the weather mn has a hard time hitting it here the last few times,
Got up no snow looked out no traffic time for a ride in the P car yippie ..
They do not use alot of salt here but a mix for the overpasses. Wait till most of the sand is gone save the paint. Good to drive them P cars

All my P-Cars have had Stuttgart plates, the cars like them
I put the real plate on the bumper with LED plate lights

Someone stole my plate off the 83 in LA California, so I have to get another one.
It's purely for looks
